Traversing past and present, Belonging charts a cyclical journey in which Hooks moves from place to place, only to end where she began—her old Kentucky home.

Sign Language began with a simple observation: most astrology content treats every sign the same way. A quick horoscope, a vague prediction, a one-size-fits-all mood board. But anyone who has ever sat across from a Scorpio in crisis or a Gemini chasing three ideas at once knows that’s not how people actually work. Each sign carries its own language — its own way of loving, working, breaking down, and rebuilding. Sign Language exists to speak that language fluently, one sign at a time.As an astrology practitioner, Sign Language’s approach is built on years spent studying birth charts, ...

Tarot. Tarot, first known as trionfi and later as tarocchi or tarocks) is a set of playing cards used in tarot games and in fortune-telling or divination.

Tarot is commonly found in many countries, especially in English- and Spanish-speaking countries where tarot games are not as widely played, in the ...

This is not a cookery book. It makes no attempt to replace a good one; it is rather an effort to fill up the gap between you and your household oracle, whether she be one of those exasperating old friends who maddened our mother with their vagueness, or the newer and better lights of our own generation, the latest and best of all being a lady as well known for her novels as for her works on domestic economy—one more proof, if proof were needed, of the truth I endeavor to set forth—if somewhat tediously forgive me—in this little book: that cooking and cultivation are by no means ...

Every culture that has ever existed looked up at the same sky. The same Orion. The same Pleiades. The same river of stars cutting across the darkness. And almost every one of them, whether separated by oceans, language, or centuries, looked at them, and told a story about what they saw. Stories about hunters and lovers and gods and monsters. Stories that survived wars, migrations, and the collapse of entire civilizations. Stories that were passed down, generation after generation, for thousands of years. Star Stories brings those stories back to life. Each episode takes a constellation, a star...

The sky has always held significance for humanity, in both cultural and scientific terms. And yet we persistently pollute it with sometimes unnecessary light in our obsessive desire to chase away the darkness. This effectively switches off the stars, hampering our ability to enjoy one of the most inspiring sights nature has to offer to humankind. In addition, too much light is hazardous to both our health and that of the fauna and flora of this planet.

A sweeping inquiry into how the night sky has shaped human history For as long as humans have lived, we have lived beneath the stars. But under the glow of today’s artificial lighting, we have lost the intimacy our ancestors once shared with the cosmos. In Starborn, cosmologist Roberto Trotta...
